Full Description
This book discusses linkages between the natural and disturbed chemical composition of the earth's surface and ecological and human health. It reviews the environmental geochemical cycles of natural elements and persistent toxic substances (PTS) in the environment, highlighting the degradation of soil and water resources due to human activities such as extraction and usage of minerals. There is an attempt to provide evidence concerning the health effects of consuming contaminated food, due to frequent consumption of mercury-laden fish. Lastly, sources, fates, and ecological effects of various PTS are presented, including microplastics and associated chemicals.
Details linkages between the natural and disturbed chemical composition of the earth's surface, and environmental and human health, focusing on food contamination
Discusses emerging pollutants with potential widespread hazardous effects such as bisphenol A and phthalates
Reviews safe food production and quality, as well as the management, regulation and policies concerning toxic chemicals
Contains cutting edge knowledge on safe food production and remediating technologies
Describes how geochemical cycling results in food contamination
